LOST In THE SECOND INNING
Two Passed Balls Cause Indianapolis
to Lose q Well-Earned Game.
The Pittsburg Players Score Five Runs to
Four by the Home Clubs-Yesterday'
Games in Other Cities.

To a combination Of hard luck and loose play
ing in the second inning Indianapolis owed it's
defeat by the Pittsburg club yesterday after
noon Boyle was put in to pitch and Arundel
TO catch for the home club, and the animation
proved unsatisfactory that Myers was allowed
20 change places with Arundel at the beginning
of the third inning. Boyle was quito sick, and
early in the game asked to be relieved from
further work in the box but his request
fused by Umpire Pearce 1t was no fault of
Boyle's, however, that the home club lost, for
the visitors, even in his weakened condition,
failed to bat 10 good effect, and he was quite
effective after the second inning. Arun-
del had had no experience in catch

balls in the first two innings letting in two
runs. lie was also unused to first base play and
after exchanging places with Myers, who played
Shombergs position, the latter being SICK lost
two opportunities to mako double plays by care

touching it after the ball was in his hands. Still
Tugs playing was far from bad. He is an A

hind the bat when with his own pitcher. UNI
pire Pearcs had recovered from his ndsposition
sufficiently to enable him to occupy his position
and did so with credit to himself and to the

catches in center-feld, and set the crowd fairly
wild by his great work in the sixth inning when

both Of which had the appearance of being good
tor at least two bases. Cahill also made very
pretty play in the seventh inning. when. after
having muffed one easy fly. he captured another
and threw a base-runner out at third base from
away down by the right foul line.
The Pittsburgs started the trouble in the first
inning, when Dalrymple made the circuit on
two bases on balls and two passed balls. In the
second four Of the visitors got around as follows
Kuehne made a base hit and Whitney was given
his base balls Mccormick went out fly

hit Brown sent q grounder to Bassett who
threw wild to Arundel in trying to cut
Whitney off and the latter scored,
while Smith went to second, Miller
and Coleman followed with hits, and Smith and
and Brown scored. McKinnon went out a fly
to Seery. After this they made runs, al
though Brown made a three-base hit in the
fourth, with only one man out He was caught
by Boyle trying to get home on Dalrymple's
slow infield hit to Denny. From that they
only got two hits off of Boyle. and the home

All the home clubs were earned in the
third inning. Myers got his base balls. stole

left field. Glasscock went out fly to
Kuehne, and Arundel hissBoyle in with clean

good fielding prevented the score being tied.

Cahill hit for two bases. Myers went out from
Smith TO McKinnon and Boyle banged the ball
